Pre-paid meter over charging?

.....nothing ridiculous or leaking.

This got me thinking how much the earth leakage of your electrical installation could cost you.

If your earth leakage is 30mA and your breaker is just hanging in then
30/1000x220
gives you a 6.6 watt load
6.6/1000 = 0.0066kW times 744 hours in a month = 4.91 units of electricity (kWh)
So your earth leakage fault current could cost you up to about R6.00/ month depending on your tariff.

Sorry, not very relevant, I was just bored
